Belgium bans Jews from sporting events like it was World War II

All it took was a little bit of graffiti for Belgium’s third-largest city to side with hate.

A group of Israeli frisbee athletes was scheduled to play in an international competition in Ghent last week when a vandal spray-painted antisemitic graffiti near the field: “Boycott Israhell Now!”

Insanely, the town’s mayor and police force reacted by booting the Israeli team from the competition.

...

More, the town told the coaches and team members they couldn’t even watch the game.

In 2024, people in a major Western European city (a university town, no less!) are being banned from sporting events because they’re Jewish.

The town is embracing a tacit policy of judenrein that’s growing all too common across Europe.

Does Belgium still consider itself a civilized nation?

Note, too, that the Europe-wide athletic association behind the tournament passively co-signed this ugliness, proving yet again that the sentiments that allowed Hitler and his cadres to succeed are still alive and well.

...

And the Israel-Hamas war is nothing less than the battle for civilization against barbarism. And Israel is fighting the good fight.

Belgium, just like it did in World War II, has decided to capitulate to barbarism.

there are organizations in Belgium sending people over to Namur and Brussels WI to relearn the dialect.

Interesting that the dialect died out in the old country but was preserved over here. Sort of like those folks in Virginia and other parts of the South who still speak Shakespearean English.

Yes. Sometimes it dies out without knowing it is doing just that I suppose.
Look at the dialects of Gaelic.

Léon Degrelle approves.
Degrelle led the Walloon Nazi collaborators. Before Belgium was conquered, he was anti-Nazi and the Rexist Party had Jewish members, Ghent is Flemish. The Flemish equivalent party, the Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond, was always pro-Nazi, to say nothing of Van de Wiele's DeVlag (German-Flemish Working Group). Far too few members of these groups were killed after the war. Degrelle hid in Spain
